Conan The Barbarian: Blu Ray Review
Conan
Rating: M
Released by Roadshow
Oh dear.
If you've ever wanted to erase the Schwarzenegger version of the
Conan story, then this could be the one for you. For all the wrong
reasons.
Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa stars as Conan in this swords and
sorcery take on the tale which sees Conan trapped in a fight to
avenge his murdered father as well as save the world.
Relentlessly violent, gory and bloody, Conan is, I guess, in some
ways exactly what you'd expect from the film. The problem is
there's little sensible dialogue and characterization - all of
which appears to have been jettisoned for some admittedly cool
action and fight sequences (the majority of which were clearly
aimed at 3D effects).
If you want to check your brain at the door, you'll love this blood
and blades (spattered with a few breasts) fantasy tale.
Rating: 4/10
